Singularity
for wind ensemble (2012)
The word “singularity” has several meanings and distinctions in the fields of technology, physics, cosmology, and other areas. One such type of singularity is referred to as a “gravitational singularity,” a condition which many scientists believe existed before the Big Bang and prior to the subsequent genesis of the universe. Putting aside the many different beliefs about the origin of the universe, this piece is a musical exploration of this idea: that all the matter in the universe was once contained in a single point, and that point expanded at an incredible speed to generate the world in which we live and the surrounding cosmos.
Performance: Shenandoah Conservatory Symphonic Wind Ensemble; Damon Talley, conductor
